Thanks, Olive. Well, I hope that the student's in my daughter's class feel the same way.  I tried to keep it short so that I wouldn't bore them to sleep. Maybe they will remember a tip or two that will prove useful to them sometime in the future. Ray

Excellent information Ray. I might also add as a general note that Rome was not built in a day, and often times one does not get "the" job until one has been working for some time. Finally, NEVER quit a job without notice, and never give notice without having another job lined up. It is always easier to get another job if you are already employed.

Hi Terry, thanks. You mention some good points which I have often repeated to others, but ...

One day, after 3 1/2 years at a job I hated (the work was fine but management was horrible) I broke both of these rules - quit on the spot without having another job lined up. Oh, the pain! This was the most irrational thing I have ever done during my career, and I wouldn't recommend it, but sometimes (hopefully very rarely) you just gotta say "Screw It", or at least that's how I felt at the time.

I could imagine that the manhole answer you found applies as well. But the answer they were looking for was that square ones can fall in, round ones can't.
